Continuous flip-flops strap structure

ABSTRACT

A continuous flip-flops strap structure includes a first strap and a second strap. The first strap has a plurality of first connecting portions which are spaced each other. The second strap has a plurality of second connecting portions which are spaced each other. The second connecting portions correspond in position to the first connecting portions to be woven and connected with each other. After the first connecting portions and the second connecting portions of the first strap and the second strap are sewn to be connected with each other, the central part of each pair of the connected first and second connecting portions is cut, and the central part of each pair of unconnected sections of the first strap and the second strap between every two adjacent pairs of the connected first and second connecting portions is cut to form a strap structure for flip flops.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a flip-flops strap structure, and moreparticularly to a continuous flip-flops strap structure.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Conventional flip flops have a Y-shaped strap structure mounted on asole for the user to wear conveniently, so they are widely used inpeople's daily lives, at the beach, a swimming pool, and so on.

FIG. 1 shows a conventional Y-shaped strap structure 10 for slip flops.The Y-shaped strap structure 10 comprises two parallel vamp woven straps11. The front ends of the two vamp woven straps 11 are sewn together toform a flat portion 111 for the toes to clip thereon.

FIG. 2 shows another strap structure 20 for slip flops. The strapstructure 20 comprises a

-shaped vamp woven strap 21. The central portion of the vamp woven strap21 is sewn with a short strap 22 by secondary processing. One portion ofthe short strap 22 is sewn on the vamp woven strap 21, and anotherportion of the short strap 22 extends down to form a round or flatportion 221 for the toes to clip thereon.

The portions 111, 221 of the conventional woven strap structures 10, 20must be sewn by way of second processing. This is complicated andconsumes labor and increases cost, so the competitiveness of theindustry cannot be enhanced.

Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himselfbased on his many years of practical experiences to solve this problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a continuousflip-flops strap structure which comprises two straps. The two strapsare sewn and connected at an interval, and then the center of each sewnportion and the center of every two adjacent sewn portions are cut toform a strap structure for flip flops. The manufacture procedure can besimplified and the operation is simple so as to save the processing timeand to lower the cost. Besides, the thickness, width, color and materialof the two straps may be the same or different to increase change of theappearance and to enhance the willingness of the consumers to buy theflip flops.

In order to achieve the aforesaid object, the continuous flip-flopsstrap structure of the present invention comprises a first strap and asecond strap. The first strap has a plurality of first connectingportions. The plurality of first connecting portions are spaced eachother. The second strap has a plurality of second connecting portions.The plurality of second connecting portions are spaced each other. Thesecond connecting portions correspond in position to the firstconnecting portions to be woven and connected with each other. After theplurality of first connecting portions and the plurality of secondconnecting portions of the first strap and the second strap are sewn tobe connected with each other, the central part of each pair of theconnected first and second connecting portions is cut, and the centralpart of each pair of unconnected sections of the first strap and thesecond strap between every two adjacent pairs of the connected first andsecond connecting portions is cut to form a strap structure for flipflops.

In some embodiments, the thickness, width, color and material of the twostraps may be the same or different.

The aforesaid object and advantage of the present invention can beunderstood by way of the description and drawings of the followingembodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way ofexample only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the continuous flip-flops strapstructure of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of afirst embodiment of the present invention to show that the first strapand the second strap of a single flip-flops strap structure have thesame width. FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the single flip-flopsstrap structure of FIG. 4 mounted to the sole of the flip-flops. FIG. 6is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention toshow that the first strap and the second strap of a single flip-flopsstrap structure have different widths. FIG. 7 is a schematic viewshowing the single flip-flops strap structure of FIG. 6 mounted to thesole of the flip-flops.

As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 7, the continuous flip-flops strap structure1 of the present invention comprises a first strap 2 and a second strap3.

The first strap 2 has a plurality of first connecting portions 20. Thefirst connecting portions 20 are spaced each other.

The second strap 3 has a plurality of second connecting portions 30. Thesecond connecting portions 30 are spaced each other. The secondconnecting portions 30 correspond in position to the first connectingportions 20 to be woven and connected with each other.

The first strap 2 and the second strap 3 may have the same width (asshown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5), or different widths (as shown in FIG. 6 andFIG. 7).

The first strap 2 and the second strap 3 may have the same color ordifferent colors; the first strap 2 and the second strap 3 may have thesame thickness or different thicknesses; the first strap 2 and thesecond strap 3 may have the same material or different materials, butnot limited.

The first connecting portions 20 and the second connecting portions 30of the first strap 2 and the second strap 3 are sewn or woven in orderand continuously to be connected with each other. Thus, the processedprocedures can be decreased.

After the first connecting portions 20 and the second connectingportions 30 of the first strap 2 and the second strap 3 are sewn to beconnected with each other, the central part P1 of each pair of the firstand second connecting portions 20, 30 is cut, and the central part P2 ofeach pair of unconnected sections of the first strap 2 and the secondstrap 3 between every two adjacent pairs of the connected first andsecond connecting portions 20,30 is cut to form a strap structure 100,100′ for flip flops 300.

After that, the strap structure 100, 100′ is directly mounted on a sole200 to form flip-flops. The first strap 2 and the second strap 3 of thestrap structure 100 of the flip-flops 300 have the same width (as shownin FIG. 4 and FIG. 5), alternatively, the first strap 2 and the secondstrap 3 of the strap structure 100′ of the flip-flops 300 have differentwidths (as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7), but not limited.

Accordingly, the present invention has two straps which are sewn andconnected at an interval, and then the center of each sewn portion andthe center of every two adjacent sewn portions are cut to from aflip-flops strap structure. The manufacture procedure can be simplifiedand the operation is simple so as to save the processing time and tolower the cost. Besides, the thickness, width, color and material of thetwo straps may be the same or different to increase change of theappearance and to enhance the willingness of the consumers to buy theflip flops.

Although particular embodiments of the present invention have beendescribed in detail for purposes of illustration, various modificationsand enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scopeof the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not tobe limited except as by the appended claims.
